Google Docs

I think google docs seem like a great program, I don't really know too much about it yet, but it seems exciting and progressive for the future of learners.  I'm not too sure that the younger grade levels will be able to do much with them.

Voice Threads

About a week ago we are learning about voice threads in the classroom.  The thing with voice threads is that anyone can put a voice message on the internet.  I think it's another good way for students to practice their vocal and speech skills.  I say this because the students can edit and reedit their speech until they have a product that they agree with and can then post it on the web.  It's like when someone practices a speech that they are going to read to the class tomorrow.

Blogs are a great way for the students to have reinforcement in the subject area they are learning about.  Blogging will create a system where the students can converse between one another, peer edit and give comments and opinions about each others work.  The students will then be able to build up knowledge from another and grow in what they perform rather than just applaud each other and move on to the next subject.  In other words the students will be exercising their brain in this process.
